How do they measure up? Small or largewithin the sizing?
Want to order some, but the measuring chart on Wiggle says 34" waist is a large, 36" is a x-large... well I take 34" jeans but 36" suit trousers..
Leaning towards the X-large but wondered what other ppl thought?
They size up pretty accurately - search for the thread on this t'other day.
yep, pretty good, i've got some shorts and trousers in medium which is 32 i think.
hmmm the other thread isn't really of any use.... looks like I'll have to try and return if too big/small.
Yes if my LBS had them, which they don't, I could try them...
as above Small is indeed 30 and fine for me
I'm a large Altura, xl Endura in shorts. 34" in most jeans, 36" in my weddings and funerals gear.
ohhh Dr. Dolittle, are the Altura a tight fit in the large, or slightly baggy? (or just right said goldie-locks)
Endura are another story, I have some XL shorts that the belt only just fit round my waist.. what are they on?
I use the adjusters on the side a little bit to fit them up snug if that's any help. (this is altura 3/4 and full length waterproofs i'm talking about) I find altura to be significantly larger sized than endura in all the products that i've tried.
Dr. D, I'm looking at the 3/4 waterproofs, so that dead useful, will go for the large uns then.
This will be the 1st pair of non-endura shorts I've bought, but seems a no-brainer at the price merlin want for the 3/4's vs Endura version.
My mate has the waterproof endura 3/4s and the articulated knee area seems to be really high up above his knee. One more reason to go for the altura 3/4s, cheaper and better fitting. And waterproof too, I can vouch for that.
I must be unlucky as my altura 'waterproof' shorts are rubbish and not waterproof at all, i won't be buying another pair.
Buy cheap, buy twice?
ST - maybe you got a bad pair, I've only heard good things about them, including a friends personal recommendation.
